* You could cover the mural paper with contact paper so that children can attach and remove items from the mural to make the activity more engaging and interactive.

Preparation:

Review the sequence of events in the story, Plant a Little Seed starting with planting seeds and ending with harvesting. Remind the children that the friends in the story needed a lot of patience. Tell the children we’re going to grow a garden inside our classroom one step at a time.

Activity: The steps in this activity can take place over days or weeks. Gardens don’t grow overnight!
